I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 84 Unexpected invitation letter
Shenzhen City, Li Yang's home.

He has been at home for a week, enjoying this rare free time with his family.

During this period, Bill Duffy, an agent in the United States, kept calling and urging him to leave for the United States as soon as possible for improvement training. He was very aware of the terrible Chinese wine table culture and had to think about the future of his clients.

BJ time, at 8:10 p.m. on August 11th, Li Yang was soundly asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a rush of ringtones. He picked up his phone in a daze and looked.

"Hey, what's the matter with Bill? It's midnight? I've finished my work here, and I'll be back in the United States in two days."

"Yang, I have good news for you. Your itinerary will probably be changed, and you will stay in China for a while."

"Bill, in the middle of the night, don't make fun of me, this joke is not funny at all." Li Yang rolled his eyes helplessly, the old man was in the middle of the night just to make a joke.

"Okay, let's stop teasing you, let's get back to business. Just now I received a call from Yao Juren from the China Basketball Association. He intends to invite you to join the China National Team and represent China in this year's Jakarta Asian Games."

"Aren't you very happy and excited! So I called to ask about your decision, and then I will reply to him."

"Bill, I want to hear your thoughts first!"

"Go, you must go. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you can perform well in the Asian Games, then your popularity will skyrocket. At that time, your worth will not be the same as it is now, and you will have a place in the national team."

"Yang, I've asked someone to investigate. It's Chairman Yao who invited you to join the national team this time. It really wasn't the Basketball Association's idea."

"According to reliable sources, in a teaching match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the National Olympic Men's Basketball Team, Zhao Jiwei injured his left foot without physical confrontation. The hospital diagnosed him with a fractured left foot. Such a serious injury prevented him from playing in the Asian Games in Jakarta a week later, so he needed to temporarily find a guard to take his place."

Zhao Jiwei's sudden injury is a great loss to him and the whole team.Zhao Jiwei is the engine of the Huaxia men's basketball team. His overall view on the court and his on-the-spot performance are unmatched by the Huaxia national team. At present, there is no point guard in China who is not much different from him in ability and experience.

Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang have returned to the national team. This time, if the Huaxia men's basketball team wants to achieve good results, it will face a lot of challenges in various aspects.

Bill Duffy went on to say: "In the beginning, Chairman Yao proposed that you take the position of Zhao Jiwei, but there were many voices of opposition within the Basketball Association. They generally believed that Bayi team guard Tian Yuxiang was more suitable to take the position of Zhao Jiwei. In the end, with Chairman Yao's strong insistence, you got this opportunity."

"Originally, you were not among the 12-man Asian Games roster that was reported before. I guess you were chosen to play the role of a firefighter."

"Well, but why did Yao Juren choose me? I only met Yao Juren once, why does he trust me so much!" Li Yang then asked: "Has the Basketball Association mentioned the specific training time?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, after all, the Jakarta Asian Games is less than ten days away, and you have to get in touch with the original players there. Of course, the opponent wants you to report and start training within two days." Bill Duffy said.

"Well, I got it. Tomorrow I will pack my bags and head north, vowing to make a name for myself in this Asian Games!!!" Li Yang said confidently.

"Then it's settled, you can communicate well with the other side." After hanging up the phone, Li Yang finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and secretly laughed out loud under the quilt. If he hadn't considered that it was already midnight, he would definitely be yelling out the window.

After so long of hard work, he has finally entered the national team. He can represent his motherland and use his ability to win honor for his motherland. This is what he has always dreamed of.

When Li Yang's parents heard the news, they were also excited for a long time, and then kept telling Li Yang that after entering the national team, he must perform well, train well, and win glory for the country.

Li Yang also knew from Bill's phone call that the Basketball Association will announce the final list of candidates for the men's basketball national team in a few days, and his name will definitely not be listed at that time.

After the roster is announced, the Basketball Association will issue an invitation letter to him, and then he will go north to participate in the training camp of the national team.

Therefore, he only needs to stand by at home these few days, waiting for Bill Duffy's call.

Li Yang will be at home from today until the time of his departure for the Asian Games in Jakarta.In other words, he will not be able to return to the Clippers to train with his new teammates until after the Asian Games in Jakarta on September 9.

Fortunately, after the Asian Games in Jakarta, there is still a full month before the start of the NBA preseason, which is enough for Li Yang to get in touch with the team, quickly adapt and integrate into the team, so the Clippers did not make things difficult for him.

A few days later, "Wu Qian, quickly open the sports headlines. The General Administration of Sports recently announced the roster of the Chinese men's basketball team for the Asian Games. The men's basketball team has announced the final roster for the Asian Games." While browsing the news, Li Tiezhu inadvertently saw a piece of news that made him very excited.

"Oh? Who are there?"

"You'll know it when you go to see it. You will never expect it, and you will never be disappointed."

"Okay, I'll go see it now"

As soon as the General Administration of Sports of China announced the final 12-man squad for the Jakarta Asian Games, countless fans flocked to the team, vying to know who the 12 players were.

Tencent Sports, Sina Sports, Sohu Sports, 3G Sports and other major sports websites all posted this news on the most prominent position on the homepage of the website. When everyone clicked in, their eyes lit up immediately.

The most surprising thing is that Yao Ming served as the leader of the Huaxia men's basketball team, and the two ace players Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang who have just returned to China are also among them, and this year's No. 13 rookie Li Yang joined temporarily.It is reported that the Asian Games will be led by Li Nan to the men's basketball red team.With such a generous move, it seems that the goal of the Basketball Association this time is undoubtedly to win the championship.

The final list of 12 people is: "Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Zhao Rui, Fang Shuo, Zhao Tailong, Dong Hanlin, Liu Zhixuan, Yu Changdong, Sun Minghui, Abdul Saramu, Li Yang."

There are twelve people in total, consisting of 4 insiders, 4 guards, and 4 strikers, including the strongest lineup that the men's basketball red team can currently field, and most of them are young people. It can be said that they are full of vitality and talent.

"This time the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the Asian Games. Although only half of the Chinese men's basketball lineup was sent, the strength of the Chinese team is still the top configuration in each team. The twin-tower lineup formed by Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin is also one of the highly anticipated combinations of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Asian Games. Zhou Qi is good at defense, and Wang Zhelin is good at low-post offense. It can be said that the combination of the two is absolutely rare in Asia."

"What's more, there is a backcourt combination like Li Yang and Ding Yan Yuhang, especially Li Yang's performance, which is really exciting!"

For a while, countless fans were excited, excited, and crazy!

"Haha, all outstanding domestic players have been selected. And Li Yang, my favorite young player is Li Yang."

"Li Yang, finally waiting for you, the national team has made the most correct choice!"

With the announcement of the men's basketball roster, there was a heated debate on the Internet. The fans also agreed with the players selected by the Basketball Association this year and gave the Basketball Association unanimous praise.

"Thinking back to the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team only won fifth place, the worst record in nearly 5 years.

And those fans who support Zhou Qi and Li Yang are very excited. Countless people have begun to look forward to the Asian Games coming as soon as possible.

At this time, Li Yang also received an invitation letter from his agent Bill Duffy about the basketball association inviting him to join the national team, and the agent Bill Duffy has already coordinated with the Clippers, Li Yang can leave for the China Basketball Association at any time.
